{judy} I grew up in Northern Arizona, where the pine trees are abundant -- and the smell of the pines always changed just slightly for each season. I miss that in the Central Plains, where I live now. Give me a pine image, though, and that scent comes back in a moment!
Today's card uses images from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' Christmas Pine clear stamp set.
I stamped my image in Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin' Up!) on Arches watercolor paper. I took an Aqua Brush and pulled some of the color out and around the pines, and left some open spaces to give the impression of snow on the branches. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I added some splatters around the edges with the Mossy Meadow.
I punched two small round holes up in the corner and tied a bow with my favorite Natural Burlap String. I added a little sparkly burgundy embellishment on top of the knot.
Behind the main panel, I cut and adhered a length of Burgundy Netting for texture and added interest. It was a perfect match with my cardstock! Both the netting and the burlap string come in a wide variety of colors for all sorts of occasions!
All panels are adhered together with 1/4" Scor-Tape.
Enjoy your week and thanks for stopping by!
I Hope This Perks You Up
